I say stay with simple names that are common. That way when they are growing up and you go to places like Disney, etc, and the kid wants a keychain, mug, or whatever with his name on it, it will be there. Otherwise, there's sorting through the racks then disappointed kids. And then there's school. Case in point, my neighbor just named her son "Maverick." I can tell you right now that kids getting stuffed in a locker every day when he gets to school.

I knew a Maverick in college.  He was a dick.  But I probably would be too if all I got from people every day was Top Gun jokes 

Naming kids is awesome (and congrats, Brownshoe!).  I found that having a top 2 (maybe 3) and then just deciding when they were born based on initial reaction was a good way.  But 2 sets of first and middle names requires finding a lot of common ground with your SO!
